I forgot about this thing

Wow, it's dead around these part isn't it...Hmm, nothing really to add. Absolutely buried in uni work at the moment. Thought I'd add something since my last post was months ago :)

OMFG! New 'Harry Potter' Trailer!

Wow. I can't wait to see this...

O hai!

Oook so it has been a while since I've posted anything new. Actually, I haven't posted since my birthday, which was in April. Nevertheless, I promised myself I wouldn't completely give up on this thing, so faithful readers (all one of you ;) ) I am back.

So what's been happening since my last post? Well I finished watching 'Six Feet Under' and pretty much sobbed like a child during the closing sequence *points and laughs*. Seriously though, I've never seen a better show yet. It's characters are firmly ingrained in my mind, as examples of how screwed up people can really get :P

In regards to my studies, well let's just say I'm glad that this session of university has come to a close. It was a hectic one to say the least and was stressing me out and forcing me to shut out the things that I enjoy, which is not something that ever makes me happy. So a month off, in which I plan to start...

Learning the piano! It's been a goal of mine for some time now and I finally started today, with my first lesson going quite well I think. Seeing as I'm not usually one to stick with projects it shall be interesting to see whether my love for the instrument actually keeps me motivated as the learning inevitably starts to get trickier.

Err, so that's really all I wanted to say.

Six Feet Under

Words can't really describe how much I'm loving this series at the moment.

My, Myself + I

Seeing a counsellor has helped me to gain confidence in myself and to see that I'm not a complete weirdo because I'm not a huge socialiser or partier.

Seems there are two different temperaments out there: extraversion and introversion. The former refers to those who are social beings, who gain energy from being in large crowds and talking and having loads of friends. Extroverts are (unfortunately :P) the majority, hence the huge emphasis on having to be out and about all the time in order to be 'successful' in our society. Introversion on the other hand, gets a lot of shit, mainly from extroverts who don't understand it.

Here's the thing: introverts (that would be me!) are not anti-social and do not generally dislike people. However, introverts do get their energy from being with themselves more than with other people. Introverts don't really do small talk (we prefer meatier conversations) and socialisation on a large scale can be a daunting experience. What comforts me is the thought that I'm not the only one out there that feels like this. A bit of research has shown that there are others out there that see the world the same way I do.

Obviously I can't just go around telling everyone 'Oh, I'm an introvert' and expect them to make exceptions for me. I get that, still I feel a lot less alienated and a bit more comfortable with myself than what I was thanks to finding this stuff out. (No, this doesn't mean I'm just shutting myself away. I am making an effort to get involved in things out of my comfort zone).

I'm Suddenly Very Busy...

Ever get the feeling that you just never stop? That you're constantly having to do something, or think about something or try and remember what you had to do?

Yeah, that's me. Right now. I'd rather be occupied than sitting around doing nothing, don't get me wrong. But I think right now I just need a moment for myself

*Gorges chocolate* ;)

Ok, scratch that, THIS is my new mantra.

If I have the belief that I can do it,
I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it
even if I may not have it at the beginning.
